The footage you are about to see is shocking. What we have for you on the 23rd episode of The Landlords From Hell Show is a tenant caught on camera going crazy inside of his kitchen. This tenant starts kicking and destroying everything in sight. This tenant is a complete animal. Truly a horrible tenant. Tenants destroying their landlords property are every landlord's worst nightmare. However, none of that is the shocking part. Bad tenants acting like idiots isn't the real story here. The real story, or should we say the shocking part of the story, is the fact that live footage of this tenant damaging his house exists in the first place. Ya see, what we have here is a landlord who installed cameras all over their tenants house. During the show, millionaire landlord James Wise explains why installing cameras inside of your tenant's home is completely psychotic. Any landlord who feels the need to watch their tenants 24/7 is a complete lunatic who gives all landlords a bad name. Slumlords who engage in appalling behavior like violating their tenants right to privacy inside of their homes should sell all of their rental properties and exit the real estate business. Real estate investing is not for everyone. If you are a landlord who thinks watching the inside of your tenants homes whenever you want to is a good business decision, real estate investing is not for you.

In the 17th episode of The Landlords From Hell Show, HoltonWise CEO James Wise takes viewers on a deep dive into the odd case of the 25 year old Realtor / Serial Murderer Willy Suarez Maceo, and the allegations that he is a serial killer who is targeting homeless men in Florida. Jerome Antonio Price, Manual Perez & a third man were all allegedly shot by Maceo with a 9 mm Glock handgun in drive by style shootings from his Dodge Charger. One of the serial killer's victims was actually asleep on the sidewalk during the shooting. What possible motivations could Willy Suarez Maceo have to kill these men? As these men were all homeless, odds are good that these killings were not some type of Realtor client dispute, landlord tenant dispute or any of the other common situations that result in violence being performed by, or perpetrated on a member of the real estate community. So what really happened with these recent Florida man killings? Why did this Florida Realtor turn to murder when it appears that he had some much going for him?

Real estate fraud schemes are everywhere. If real estate investors aren't careful they could lose a lot of money being involved in a real estate scam. In the 9th episode of The Landlords From Hell Show we discuss a recent real estate deal where we caught a dishonest rental property seller in a $40,000 quit claim deed scam. There are many dangers when buying real estate using a quit claim deed to transfer property ownership from seller to buyer. A quit claim deed is used to transfer the ownership interest of a property from one party to another. But, unlike a warranty deed, a quit claim deed doesn't involve a proper title insurance policy after a title search. A quit claim deed only transfers the interest that the seller has, and that interest could be subject to liens on the property that the buyer now assumes. If a real estate buyer ends up in a transaction with a dishonest seller like we where in this episode of The Landlords From Hell Show they can find themselves getting a lot of money stolen from them.
